Maternal folate genes and aberrant DNA hypermethylation in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

BACKGROUND:There is evidence that maternal genotypes in folate-related genes are associated with pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) independent of offspring genotype. We evaluated the relationship between maternal genotypes in methionine synthase (MTR) and DNA methylation status in ALL to...
